Toronto’s indie rock four-piece Little Kid are back with their first material since last year’s Transfiguration Highway. Their new single “John Arnott” nears the seven minute mark, and it’s all immersed in a cosmic, distorted atmosphere reminiscent of shoegaze.

Read what the band said about the track:

The song is inspired by Pastor John Arnott, who started the Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in Toronto, the site of the so-called Toronto Blessing — a charismatic Christian revival in the 90s and early 00s. I actually traveled up from Petrolia with my family to attend a service there, and later learned my partner was attending at the same time (though we didn’t meet until about 15 years later). Most of the churches I attended in my teens and early adulthood were led by pastors inspired by the movement that started at TACF: focused on performing miracles, receiving the Gifts of the Spirit, having direct spiritual experiences with God – frankly, they were all a bit “out there.”
